  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • Green Apple

How to Make Banana Apple Salad

  1. Melt 1/4 cup (57g) of butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
  2. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar until well combined.
  4. Return the saucepan to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  6. While the dressing cools, chop 2 medium apples (about 2 cups) and 2 ripe bananas (about 1 1/2 cups) into bite-sized pieces.

  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
